How can I manage my US passport and driver's license while living permanently in Thailand without a US address?

@Mitchell ******

I officially dropped a USA address about 4 years ago. My USA bank has my Thai address but what little communications we do by mail takes 3-6 weeks. They also have toll free number for international calls. Social Security office also has Thai address. The office in Manila works fine for phone calls

What are the pros and cons of using Wise for transferring money to Thailand compared to bank transfers?

Gary *******

Wise says it's taking 5 days for them to receive my money but it's debited from my account the next day. I've done seven transfers this month all the same. So I tried OFX and same 5 days. Not sure what's going on
